Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[newyork13]

Thank You For The Thought...And for ME it's a done deal...In the previous month or so I was down to 1 or 2 per day...In the last week I was distinctly dis-liking each one more and more...Throwing the last 1/2 pack in the garbage was really easy...Trig

Good for you, and welcome.
It's been 4 yrs for me, and for reasons I don't quite understand, I still have my last 1/2 pack of American Spirits. Never tempted. But, there're still in the drawer. Yeah, they really weren't great tasting, and I'll bet much less so now.

I smoked American Spirit the last year of my tobacco consumption, I still have a carton and a half in the fridge. Why we kept them? Safety blanket!

For tobacco flavors, which is basically all I use and DIY:

These vendors:
Bull City Flavors - Best Prices on Flavoring
DIY E-Liquid, Electronic Cigarettes and Wholesale Nicotine & E-Cig Juice | EcigExpress
E Cigs for Vaping | Best Electronic Cigarettes, Vape For Sale

These flavor brands:
Concentrated Flavoring - Brands - Hangsen - Page 1 - Bull City Flavors
Super Concentrates
Tobacco Express Ultra Concentrated e-liquid Flavors | ecigExpress
Hangsen Essence Flavoring | Hangsen Flavors for E Cig
Concentrated Ecig Flavorings | Alcohol Flavored DIY Vape E Juice

The Super Concentrates/Flavor Express above are all Dekang brands, just relabeled by each vendor.

My faves are HS Tab, No. 5 and Highway... from Dekang I really like the Dunhill.

You can start with any of those and use 2.5%, .5% of EM and start there. Adjust up or down for experimenting and finding your happy spot. It does not get any more simple.

That was an interesting post. I'm enjoying NETs more than anything else right now.
I never thought of a simple tobacco flavoring mixed with EM. I have an FA Burley flavor somewhere in the cabinet and a Hangsen RY4, and I have some Cotton Candy, which I believe is just EM. I'll give it a shot. thanks.

As far as I'm concerned, I see no stupid questions, just stupid mistakes but even then they're not really stupid mistakes, they're learning opportunities.

I was told, many moons ago, "If you're not making mistakes, you're not doing enough".

I thought I was wrong, once. Turns out I was mistaken.

Here's a little story you'll like...

My Son...25...Is a lightish less than 1/2 pack a day smoker...I bring it up gently on occasion that it would be a great idea if he could quit before he became a walking chimney like his Dad...Was...When I told him I'd QUIT he was shocked and I explained that I had fully transitioned to vaping only...He told me that he had vaped on occasion in the past...Said "Dad ya' know that juice runs $20 a bottle"...I explained that he could easily get juice for less than $7 (30ml) on line and considerably less than that in any reasonable volume...He also mentioned his gear was old and didn't really ever work very well...Ahhh...So there's the excuse...I can fix that...$$$...

"If I buy you some new gear and some juice would you give it try"..."Ya' I'd like that"...I just spoke with him...He received 2 Batteries / 4 Clearos / 3 x 30 ml juice / 2 Chargers / 3 Blunt Tip Filler Caps...And seems pleased...

Aside from smoking he's quite intelligent...And it's my guess when he fully realizes the $$$ part of the equation that will be the end of his smoking...I hope !!!...I love Pull'in The Purse String when it counts...!!!

And...He doesn't know it...But his gear qualifies him to be a Tootle Puffer !!!...We Shall See...Trig

I would be happy if I could be right once.

It is heart warming and any time he wishes, he's welcome here. I believe someone here pointed out a good starter kit....I would wholeheartedly encourage you to give it a try. You will be amazed at the difference. I started with cig-alikes...several times. It never really took, I kept going back to cigs, a couple of packs a day. Several years ago I told my wife I'd like to give vaping a try. She picked up her car keys and said: are you coming? ....where is the store? She walked in with me and then told me to get what I needed, she'll be more than happy to pay for it. I was lucky to find a store with people willing to guide me in the right direction. I walked out a couple of hours later with an istick 30w and a couple of nautilus tanks, a couple of packs of coils and 30 ml of juice. The store owner said the juice is on the house, he was happy to convert another smoker. Needless to say, this time it took, I never had a relapse. I pif'd the istick and one of the tanks, I kept the other as a reminder.

@corn flakes - I think @ChelsB meant she wished the manufacturers of tanks...and/or the vendors of them...would list the dimensions of the screws used on the tanks they make and sell. At least that's what I thought she meant. I may be wrong about that though.

That's exactly what I meant![emoji4]

I got your back Chels! Any time you need an interpreter!

BTW: Given the earlier conversations . . . For those who might be interested, with a little bit of prodding the following thread was started back in 2013:

Yes I still Smoke Cigarettes and I am addicted to the smoking habit - support and chat thread.​

And even though not as active today - continues:

Still smoking support and chat thread​

If Ya' take any time and read through any of the post there in those threads - you just might find some very interesting post with personal stories by people you know and quite a lot of important information concerning the addiction of smoking cigarettes - especially physically/mentally/emotionally too . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Well, I feel good tonight. Took a bunch of kids to the water park for my 11yo's Bday, went hours without vape cravings. Did sneak a few puffs out of my pool bag but it was literally 3-4 puffs in 4 hours. Then a beautiful desert monsoon storm rolled in and drove us out of the park at the perfect time. Going home for some well deserved adult time now that the kids are passed out.

About 20 years ago i moderated several forums

How does the saying go? There are no stupid questions, only stupid people? No. That's not right. There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers? No, that's not right either. I'll have to think on this one for a spell.

There are NO stupid questions.....and I see I am not the only one using a certain phrase alluding to the smoke.

An old slogan from Bartles and Jaymes Wine coolers "thank you for the support "

There are no stupid questions

 

[Two_Bears]

But that storm trooper was a he.

Good point. Was a quote used by Obi Wan kenobi in the first movie "Star Wars: A New Hope " just before they went in the bar to meet Han Solo. Great scene.

 

[Two_Bears]

Thank you very much Mrs B.

 

[Two_Bears]

Well...I asked a pretty stupid question earlier and got a bunch'a GOOD ANSWERS...!!!

I also got educated on just how fast the Tootle Puffer Thread moves...Like Greased Lighting...
And the "Tootle Puffer Banana Nut Special" is getting better and better each and every minute...

I was running a fever two days ago and it moved on without me and i found. Myself. 270 nessages behind.

 

[Bea-FL]

Mild menthol.
